Let their wives lose their husbands and children.

Footnotes
- 40 Heb “be poured out to the hand [= power] of the sword.” For this same expression see Ezek 35:5; Ps 63:10 (63:11 ). Comparison with those two passages show that it involved death by violent means, perhaps death in battle.
- 41 Heb “be slain by death.” The commentaries are generally agreed that this refers to death by disease or plague as in 15:2. Hence, the reference is to the deadly trio of sword, starvation, and disease which were often connected with war. See the notes on .
